But there is nothing that the scientific method cannot ultimately explain given sufficient resources, except perhaps what happened before the Big Bang.

All explainable by science.
Numbers, Maths and logic are human inventions used to describe reality. Without humans they would not exist.
Ethics are a product of society and evolved instincts.
Human consciousness is a product of the brain.
We don't know that scientific laws cannot be explained using the scientific method.

If it's part of physical reality then it's amenable to the scientific method, otherwise it doesn't actually exist.
